I appreciate the world play and providing marathoners with motivation, but factually the rats do indeed call the shots about how the city is operated

“They [potato chips] go perfectly with the Diet Coke.”
“A Diet Coke, please. Thank you.”

![Excerpt from the Music of Tennessee wikipedia page:
“In a tour of Great Britain and Europe in 1873, the Fisk Jubilee Singers, the first former slaves to tour Europe after the Civil War, performed the spirituals "Steal Away to Jesus" and "Go Down, Moses" for Queen Victoria in April. According to local oral tradition, Queen Victoria was so impressed by the Singers that she commented that with such beautiful voices, they had to be from the Music City of the United States. Hence, the moniker for Nashville, Tennessee - Music City USA - was born. 2] They returned to Europe the following year, touring from May 1875 to July
1878. This tour raised an estimated $150,000 for the university, funds used to construct Fisk's first permanent building. Named Jubilee Hall, the building was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1975 and still stands. 3]”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cniqkzr5npav7xspfh5ebp5u/bafkreibl3vr6vbwvctfga27fvw7hetc3ytl6maxwc2ovf2tc42nhdh6wpa)
